well im still in high school. but i made my chose for 2 colleges.

stony brook university

&

hofstra university
Stony Brook has a lot of great programs and can be a great experience. My sister loved it there, although I took one semester of graduate school there and wasn't really happy, but I think that had more to do with me than the school. I have visited Hofstra and I felt a generally warmer feeling from the campus. Definitely check out both places yourself before making a decision.

I was kicked out of college for being a naughty boy. :(

I then found myself stacking shelves in a supermarket to try and cover my bills. Managed to take out a £5k loan, and start studying to pursue a career in IT. Finalyl found a job, working serious overtime, travelling all round the country all for £12k a year. ;/

Years later, I've finally worked my way up into a comfortable position. But my God, do I wish I stayed in school.


TLDR: Don't fuck around in school. Your friends you're trying to impress? You won't even remember them in 4 years time when you're flipping burgers in McDonalds. Study hard, get good grades, go to Uni / College. Shag hot fresh(wo)men.
Thanks for your inspirational words!

Uni is much more tough to enter now with much more people applying meaning I have to do much more extra curricular activities and volunteering to up my UCAS points. It will always be worth it I hope.

Back up plan... get a full-time job somewhere in a bid to bring in some cash for an apartment.
The most important thing when it comes to UCAS is having the right personal statement. sadly for me its part of my job to sort out peoples personal statements, the utter rubbish i have seen people put in their statements is bewildering.

My tutor has told me my personal statement is great and I enjoyed writing about it because I get to be very arrogant and big myself up :)

What am I worried about now? Exams...I hate them and im not good at them sadly.
